Bolete?

Found while hiking in a rainforest, right on the trails edge. Is this a bolete? If so is it identifiable? I assumed those were worm holes running through the stock as well.

Looks like Tylopilus sordidus, a type of bolete. Usually this species stains light blue on the cut flesh and bruised pores, and then a reddish stain develops on the flesh (but not always). http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tylopilus_sordidus.html   T. porphyrosporus is similar. 

Thus seems like an interesting fond for Washington State. Species of Tylopilus are common east of the Rockies, but not so much in western NA.
